photographing every article in the old news papers, Accrington's Blackburn, some Burnley, some Chorley, 1000's of pics, all to be downloaded an twiddled about, faces extracted touched up, and resized, printing em out tu read and trype into tother computer, which still runs on DOS6, hour on hour till me backside aches, often siting wi me nut in me aands, "what the ell am I doing this for,"an having to put up with my uncle Mycroft, urgin me on, Holmes's don't give up. Well ave done it, not proud, just relieved a can take mi time with my next project, I once down loaded whilst on Ancstry all the 11th East Lancs Medal Cards, over 4000 of them, now lining them up straight, resizing, cleaning them up entering missing details, arguing wi Kew Records, when the've wrongly indexed or misspelt um, an they can be right snotty buggers. Scrattin me ead again an again, why am I doing this, well John int Library thinks its good idea, an given me a load of index cards to stick em on. roll on 2918.
